Description

Interaction system, related device and method for releasing multimedia file device

technical field

The present invention relates to any device that includes a selection interface (interactive front wall, alphanumeric keypad, pointing peripheral) that enables the user to interact directly with the device to obtain information about a product or service, or said merchandise or service support. The invention is more particularly but not limited to interactive panels or media walls that can provide information such as location or prices.

Background technique

Many interactive media walls are used in public places where they allow users to easily browse through menus or multimedia content that would normally be delivered via a screen or monitor. For example, the first shop window or some food suppliers may provide one or more electronic screens or display cases protected by translucent walls, the user can use a pointing device in the form of a thumbwheel or trackball to select an article or A title, so the user can select the reference data of a project from multiple projects according to different criteria (such as windshield wipers according to the type of vehicle); of course, the user can also purchase tickets at one site; in another case , the user can enter an alphanumeric string to specify or select a product or service.

Summarizing the interaction offered by such a device, to increase its attractiveness, some suppliers sometimes provide a touchscreen on their main front wall, sometimes of a very large size, thus offering an interesting way to use it. However, such an approach is obviously very expensive, and its reliability is low in the case of intensive use, especially considering the high cost and high fragility of the touch screen. Furthermore, when the screen is placed on the front wall of the food provider, it may hide some of the products for sale, or even completely cover them up. In order to overcome these disadvantages, other devices have been provided with interactive front walls (eg technology implementing stereo vision) instead of keyboards and touch screens, in cooperation with said front walls and control units. Such techniques include, for example, placing the sensor on a substantially translucent wall surrounded by a frame light or backlight that can emit a light source in the visible or near infrared spectrum. Such a device can detect a pointer, such as a user's finger, placed close to said translucent wall, and using known methods, such as triangulation, the position of the pointer located on the translucent wall can be known with great precision. Regardless of whether the device uses a touchscreen (capacitive, voice-activated or any other detection method) or an optically-detected front wall, the control unit can be pre-programmed so that a pointer at a specific position triggers the display of information about an item or the dispatch of a certain product or service.

These second-generation interactive devices offer significant improvements in ergonomics and attractiveness. However, such devices can be tedious when navigating through titles or menus, which typically require several operations and selections to obtain information about a product or service.

Furthermore, such devices are limited in their ability to provide information or products, and the requested information is usually volatile and can only be displayed on the public-facing screen of the device. Therefore, the user cannot properly use or obtain and then subsequently use this information. Users often have no other solution but to eg take handwritten notes or enter and save these notes on a mobile device.

To overcome such problems, some manufacturers of interactive devices offer to send requested information via email or SMS (SMS or Send SMS). For this purpose, the user using the interactive device must, for example, digitize a barcode, such as a code of a two-dimensional barcode (or QR code), and thus must use an object that can support such functionality. A barcode of the QR code type is composed of black modules placed on top of a white background. This barcode is called a two-dimensional or array code. The arrangement of the modules determines the encoded information. The latter can be used for this purpose as a reader, such as a mobile phone, to read barcodes for quick decoding. For example, such a barcode could encode an Internet address, from which the reader could automatically trigger an Internet browser, enabling the user to access more Information. However, the coded information is very limited and static. Such a barcode is opaque. If the barcode is to be pasted on the front of the screen, the content released by the screen will be partially covered by the barcode.

Proximity or near-field communication, more specifically a technology recently called NFC, makes it possible to partly overcome these disadvantages by using tags (tags, labels or beacons) instead of barcodes, which can be read by a reader Readers (such as mobile phones or tablet computers that support this feature) use short-range (typically less than 10 cm) wireless communication. Such technology is an extension of the ISO/CEI14443 standard, which specifies short-range communication via radio frequency identification (RFID), and can combine a chip card-type interface with a reader provided on the same peripheral device. Such tags can not only be attached In front of the screen, it can also be hidden behind it to avoid covering part of the content displayed on the screen.

However, regardless of the use of labels or barcodes, the information remains static and the information provided by the label remains independent of the content of the document released by the delivery means of the interactive device. Therefore, such a solution becomes inappropriate if the published content is dynamic, for example: a carousel can display a large number of articles, products or services, which can be linked to additional information. Barcodes can also be part of the distribution of multimedia content, the information encoded into such barcodes can remain static and further depend on the content itself. In other words, it is impossible for two devices with unrelated information to share the same multimedia content. Likewise, minor modifications to additional items of information related to file titles may result in costly modifications (updates and deployments) of the content itself.

Contents of the invention

The invention makes it possible to overcome all the disadvantages arising from known solutions by incorporating in the device a control unit which cooperates with the release means of the multimedia files to provide its control and which integrates In an interactive system, it includes a processing unit, which includes communication means and a microcontroller; at least one tag, which includes a first communication means, which communicates directly with the processing unit, and a second communication means, for when the communication object is in the When at least one tag is within range, wireless communication with the communication object is enabled.

detailed description

Fig. 1 discloses an interactive system S of the present invention, which is used to be integrated in a device (not shown in Fig. 1 as a whole), which includes release means Md, which release out multimedia content. As shown in Figure 1, the release means Md consists of a so-called "LCD" (Liquid Crystal Display), "LED" (Light Emitting Diode), or even an "OLED" (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display screen, the release means can be A screen panel Ed with liquid crystals that make up the dots and colors of the image. Lights located behind the screen panel illuminate and make the image visible; Provided by the neon tubes on the surrounding frame Ec; in "LED" or "OLED" screens, the neon tubes are replaced by diodes. To complete the backlight, a reflector Sr can usually be applied and applied to the back of the screen panel Ed, the The reflective plate Sr may allow light to pass through the screen panel Ed and towards a potential user.

The screen panel Ed can be protected by a translucent wall (preferably a transparent wall, which can be made of glass or plastic material), not shown in Figure 1. This protective wall is especially suitable for devices installed in public areas, and this protective wall can is an interactive media wall that protects the screen panel Ed located behind it; moreover, this protective wall can also be surrounded, for example, by a frame containing optical sensors, or a Touch the wall. In addition, if the screen is a touch screen, the protection wall may not be used.

"Tags" or radio labels are especially small objects, such as self-adhesive labels, which can be attached or integrated on objects or products. The labels usually contain an antenna and are equipped with an electronic chip, so that they can receive and/or reply from Requests sent by the transceiver wirelessly. Here, the tag can be an active, connected or passive component.

The tag can also be a wireless communication means for electromagnetic signal communication or any other communication; in another embodiment of the present invention, the tag is formed using radio frequency technology, for example, the application of the Bluetooth standard can be used, but its It is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

In an embodiment, the device includes a single tag and a plurality of sensors for detecting and determining the position of a pointer, such as a user's finger or a mobile phone, and the tag may include an antenna at least partially but preferably completely surrounding the screen; In another embodiment, the device comprises a tag network that cooperates with a plurality of tags.

The action of releasing the multimedia file by the release means Md is controlled by the control unit UCd, and the control unit UCd and the release means Md cooperate with each other through a known connection CE, wherein the known connection CE is, for example, a high-resolution multimedia interface (HDMI), digital Video Interface (DVI) form or other links, so that the control unit can determine the content of multimedia files, scrolling, covering, etc., which can include storage means (not shown in Figure 1) for storing multiple files, or Even a computer program and its instructions are executed by the control unit to release the file by the release means. The control unit UCd may further receive a release request P1 from the outside, and execute an action of releasing the file in response to the request.

In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above-mentioned known solutions, the present invention provides another particularly innovative interactive system S in such devices, the system S comprising a processing unit UC, in some devices, if a control unit UCd has been used in it , then the processing unit may be the control unit UCd of the device. Wherein, units UCd and UC may be formed in the same physical entity, or may be different physical entities but capable of communicating with each other. In the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1 , the processing unit UC is distinct from the control unit UCd. The microcontroller U of the processing unit UC can send (via communication means C1) a release request P1 to the control unit, so that the latter responsively controls the release of the file by the release means Md, the processing unit further communicates directly via port B with, for example, a Or a plurality of tags T1 to Tn communicate, each of which can establish proximity wireless communication with a communication object, which is not shown in FIG. 1 . Here, the communication object is more specifically a contactless card, such as a payment card, membership card, etc., which can be a smart phone or any microelectronic device that can communicate with the rest of the system in at least one direction. device.

In Fig. 2 is described in detail the functional diagram of the tag Ti, which is used to interface with the processing unit of the interactive system of the present invention, the tag Ti comprising a microcontroller Ut, which cooperates with the first means of communication Ct in order to communicate with the remote processing unit (such as The unit UC) shown in Figure 1 communicates. In addition, the tag Ti also includes a second communication means At (usually a coil or an antenna) to establish a wireless communication CP with the communication object Oc, wherein when the object (such as a smart phone) is within the range of the tag, that is This communication can be established; the electromagnetic field generated by the object can activate (when sufficient power is provided) a tag (more precisely a tag with a microcontroller Ut), which can then communicate, more specifically with the object communication. Tag Ti may include storage means Mt, the content of which can be read or even written by the communication object. In a preferred embodiment, the tag has reading and/or writing means, so that said tag can be read and its content can be modified in order to be able to establish, for example, a two-way exchange with a communication partner.

In this application, tags can also be tag technology, where tag information can only be read, or active technology, where information can be written or modified over time, for example, by building tag memory with the system and/or A link between computer processing means of communicating objects or any other object; or a "reader" (reader/writer) type of technology in which a tag has a master operation and the communicating object has a slave function; therefore , tag refers to the broad scope of the word, which covers an electronic device capable of acting as a master or a slave in a master-slave exchange with the communicating partner.

According to the invention, the tag can be connected via a data port to a remote processing unit, so that the microcontroller Ut of the tag Ti can further transmit detection signals or information to detect the electromagnetic field FDi (via said means of communication Ct). The processing unit is connected to the tag Ti and can use the signal, whereby the tag notifies that a communication object appears and approaches the tag, and the tag communication means Ct can further receive data (or data signal) IOi from the connected processing unit and and/or transmit data (or data signals) 10i to a connected processing unit.

In the preferred embodiment, the tag Ti is a tag implementing near field communication (NFC) or radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, any other technology capable of establishing a communication within a small range can be used instead, so that the tag can be used with a communication object to interact.

In connection with the exemplary device described in FIG. 1 , said processing unit UC is connected via a communication port B to a matrix MT of tags T1 to Tn through which each tag is connected to said processing unit, with reference to FIG. 3 , to illustrate in more detail a preferred embodiment of the tag being connected to the processing unit UC.

In the interactive system S according to the present invention, such a label matrix is not needed, only one label is enough to detect an object and generate an action connected with the release means (for example a virtual key to stop the scroll bar ), the details of which will be detailed below.

In order to provide the required interactivity, the label (or label matrix MT) is fixed on the release means Md, and the teacher is fixed on the back of the release device. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the advantage of the label is that it can Use glue or an adhesive sheet to fix to the back of the reflector Sr, which itself is fixed to the screen panel Ed; in general, fixing the label matrix (using any fixing device) on the back of the panel can be done in the released Create as many "active areas" as possible within the file, more precisely in the release means, as labels. Thus, this preferred planar label matrix can be positioned without any direct contact between said matrix and the back of the release means, the planar label matrix being substantially parallel to the plane of the panel (or release plane) . If the release means is not planar, then the tag matrix is preferably following the release geometry. If the user places the communication object in the "active zone" close to the panel (e.g. corresponding to an article published with multimedia content or a virtual key), the tags (e.g. tag Ti) pass through a virtual axis and through the communication object and the panel, when the object When within the range of the tag, the electromagnetic field provided by the object can be provided to the tag, and the tag automatically provides a detection signal of the electromagnetic field FDi via port B, so the processing unit UC is notified that the object actually exists in the active area of the panel Therefore, the processing unit can, for example, trigger a release request to the control unit to modify the content of the released multimedia file. Such modification may include releasing a second file or overwriting information on a user-known communication object.

In another solution, the processing unit can trigger an action to update the memory Mt of the tag whose electromagnetic field is detected, the processing unit UC transmits the data signal or information IOi to the tag's Ti via port B, therefore located close to said tag Ti An object that can read the tag's in-memory file. Similarly, if the tag Tn is then driven (i.e. activated) by the communication object, the tag Tn can sequentially generate a detection signal or information of the electromagnetic field FDn, and the latter can be transmitted to the processing unit UC through the port B, and sequentially trigger and A different action of the previous "active area", eg a different size of the area around the tag Tn in the panel, can be associated to the second title of the multimedia file being released.

If the control unit UCd of the device is constituted by the same physical entity as the processing unit UC of the system S, the actions performed by said processing unit consist of directly modifying the content of the file released by the release means Md.

Referring to Figure 1, this embodiment more precisely discloses an interactive media wall type device comprising a screen in the form of an LCD or LED/OLED panel. In another solution, the invention also makes possible a similar interactive system with a food product dispenser, where the food display case would be replaced by the panel. Furthermore, any other means of release may be used, such as sound release means, or more generally any means capable of conveying information perceivable by the user. Likewise, for example, a television set can be used to implement a TV shopping application; similarly, the delivery means can include a simple screen on which multimedia content is controlled by a control unit and projected by a video projector .

Referring to FIG. 1 , the processing unit UC provided by the present invention can also be connected to a different remote unit UD. For this purpose, the processing unit UC can include communication means C2 for interacting with the remote unit. For example, this unit can thus communicate via the Internet or via a dedicated network R, in this way the tags of the matrix MT can be connected virtually to said remote unit UD, which can also prepare release requests, which are determined by The control unit UCd outputs via the processing unit UC.

Figure 3 discloses a preferred embodiment in which a tag (or a matrix of tags T1, T2 to Tn) forms a direct connection with the processing unit UC, for the sake of simplicity such a connection is generalized as port B, as shown in Figure 1 In FIG. 3, n tags are connected to the processing unit UC, and each tag is similar to the tag Ti described in FIG. 2, which can communicate with the communication objects located near it according to the non-contact protocol. This item is not shown in FIG. 3 . As long as one of the tags is fed with the electromagnetic field generated by the object, the tag can send the detection signal or information of the electromagnetic field to the processing unit. Therefore, the tags T1, T2 and Tn can respectively release the signal FD1 as soon as possible when they are notified of the object. , FD2 and FDn. Such a signal can advantageously be included in the release of Boolean information, where "true" means that an object has activated the tag, and is equivalent to "false" if there is no detection signal Boolean information.

In order to output said information and allow the unit to know which tag has detected an electromagnetic field, the invention provides a first signal detecting the presence of a communication object, which is generated and transmitted to the processing unit, such a signal can be obtained by means of OR to make Booleans other than detect signals that detect electromagnetic fields that may be transmitted to individual tags.

Assuming that the number n of tags is 2 ^m , the tags T1 to Tn are also connected to coding means ENC in order to code the information FD1 to FDn (if any), said means being able to code the signals FD1 to FDn and to code them into m-bit values (i-1) release to processing unit. Thus, the processing unit can know which tag Ti detects the electromagnetic field, and the microcontroller U of the processing unit only needs to decode the output from the encoder to achieve this. This embodiment makes it possible to simplify and reduce (n to m) the number of connections required for said processing units. Referring to FIG. 3, the exemplary embodiment of connection B further enables the transmission of data information or signals IO1 to IOn emitted by the tags to the processing unit. In contrast, the data information or signals IO1 to IOn sent by the processing unit can be transmitted to all tags or a specific tag among them. For this purpose, the invention discloses that the tag is connected to the switching means COM, which multiplies the signal by the value m derived from the means OR or created by the processing unit, for addressing. The invention should not be limited to these exemplary embodiments, any other connections are conceivable: for example wires, parallel, serial, linear or ring ports.

Regardless of the means chosen to connect one or more tags with the processing unit, and regardless of the request or action used to determine the release of the multimedia file by means of controlled release, the present invention significantly increases the performance of the device proposed according to the present invention. interactivity.

To further increase the attractiveness of the device, one or more applications can further be loaded or pre-installed in the storage device of a communication partner capable of interacting with one of the tags. The user of the object can then use additional services: online purchases, access to more possibly tailored information, and the tag is able to receive the data transmitted by the object and send it to the processing unit.

In order to enable certain applications, the information disclosed in the present invention can be reproduced by a tag connected to a processing unit, which can include a time stamp connected to a communication object, for example, a television set can be provided by providing an interactive system according to the present invention ( A processing unit comprising one or more tags attached to the back of the television panel) makes it suitable for implementing teleshopping or televote services. When reading a tag's memory, the communicator specifies the active area of the TV panel to collect the data, and time stamps immediately when said communicator activates the tag. The information of these two parts is enough to characterize a certain article among the plurality of articles presented by the file released by the TV set. Advantageously, the invention is able to synchronize the time when the tag is activated by the communicating object, and the images detected at this particular time, more precisely, the tag prompted by the communicating object at a given time may correspond to a specific active area of the screen. In another solution, the release means Md consist of a video stream associated with a time stamp, through which the detection action makes it possible to determine at a given time the image or the image displayed on the screen, the user wishes to select the part shadow image. An application program hosted by a communication partner (for example a mobile phone) makes it possible to place specified articles in the user's virtual shopping basket and then complete the online ordering action of said shopping basket. Similarly, in another solution, communication objects can be used to participate in nominating a candidate for approval from reality TV or talent shows, and users can also send e.g. Candidates can put their mobile phone directly close to the TV panel and place it close to the picture displayed on the TV panel. The short message information can be generated by the object's built-in application program according to the data of the active area designated by the TV and time (and/or date) provided.

Thus, the invention makes it possible to further imagine many different applications based on the principle of linking tags with documents released by the interactive system.

Referring to the previous description according to FIG. 1, the present invention also discloses that the files in the storage means M cooperating with the microcontroller U of the processing unit UC (or even the control unit UCd) can be modified, therefore, the present invention has great flexibility It can be applied to the processing of various active areas determined by the position of the label fixed on the release means. In fact, the microcontroller U at the processing unit can read and then execute or interpret these instructions by a program stored in the storage means M, and then execute the processing method so that a communication object requires a connection to said processing unit one of the tags. When applied to the example shown in Figure 1, such a method may mainly include firstly performing a receiving step, which receives one of the tags (T1, T2, ..., Tn) of the system via the communication means C1 of the processing unit UC The detection information of the emitted electromagnetic field (FD1, FD2, . The method may further comprise a control step of modifying the content of the multimedia file released by the releasing means Md according to the detection information sent by the tag. In addition, the method can prepare and transmit data information IO1, IO2, . The processing method implemented by the processing unit UC may be adapted or even replaced, depending on whether the purpose of the device comprising the interactive system of the present invention changes, which also applies after changing the multimedia files released by the device for a or Handling of multiple active zone associations.

Furthermore, the interactive system according to the invention can be easily integrated in devices that were not originally designed to accommodate the system, therefore, the method can be adapted in any device, including control units, release means for releasing multimedia files, and a control unit that cooperates with the release means to provide its control, the method includes the step of integrating an interactive system in the device, comprising:
